To Whom it may concern,

My name is Victoria; I'm in the fourth year of E.S.O. This year we have to decide what we want to do when we grow up, but there is one small problem: I don't know what to do.

I mean, I have options but if you start to think about it, it is hard to decide; either there are too few possibilities on the market or if you get a degree you really like you cannot find a job afterwards.

Today’s economic and work situations make it difficult to decide. Should I study something I love and risk not finding a job, or should I study for a job that pays better but hate it and spend the rest of my life feeling miserable?

If you look at it from a certain point of view, going to work is like going to school: the same routine, the same people... but the difference is that you can choose what you want to do and so you can be enthusiastic every day.

Nowadays, we see in the news people living on the streets without a job or a home, and it makes me wonder, how did they get there? Maybe this is not related to job issues at all, maybe they had an accident and spent all their money on operations – I don't know. What I do know, however, is that I do not want to end up living on the streets, but I also do not want to live a sad life. So what do you think I should do?

Thank you for taking the time to read this,

Victoria Englert
